● An organelle that contains all the
biomolecules except carbohydrate:
- Nucleus
● An organelle that have lipid, protein, and
carbohydrate:
- Cell membrane
● It collects excess cholesterol from body
tissues and transports it back to the liver for
degradation to bile acids:
- High density lipid
● It transports dietary Triacylglycerol from
intestine to liver and to adipose tissues:
- Chylomicrons
● It transports cholesterol synthesized in the
liver throughout the body:
- Low density lipid

● It is the most abundant disaccharide
transported in plants:
- Cellubiose
